Preferred 1st rd opponent

With our position almost wrapped up (either 2 or 3 seed), it's time to start thinking of our 1st rd opponent . I personally fear none of the options, but kind of feel the lions would be a legit challenge. Who do you all want to face and why? Can't wait for playoff football
the cowboys so we can get the pretenders out the way and then have the Lions knock off the Vikings
Also not worried about any of those teams, but would prefer them in this order:

1. Hawks
2. Giants
3. Commanders
4. Lions


Tottenham Hotspur

/threat
Honestly... none of these teams frighten me.
At all.
Giants in my book.

My reasoning: I feel like we're going to beat the Commanders this week. Meeting either Seahawks or Commanders in the 1st round they will have extra motivation and want to try to upset us. Both teams will be in desperation, with us most likely coming in with a win streak we might relax early and not be able to recover. The Lions are just red hot as we are but have a nothing to lose attitude since if they do make it then its already a win in their books.

As the 2 seed, the ideal and practical road to the SB would be Giants (home), Vikings (home), and TB (home) for the NFCC game. This would assume that TB knocks out the Cowboys in the first round then goes to Philly and knocks them out, therefore having to come to SF for the NFCC game. I don't think any other team is a legit contender in the NFC for Philly, except maybe Dallas. But I don't want Dallas coming to SF for the NFCC game bc it would cause major PTSD for us fans that grew up in the 90s.

As the 3 seed, I think the same path except we'd have to go to Minnesota for the 2nd round Divisional.
I voted Hawks just so we can destroy them again

No no no. People said the same thing last year about wanting to play the Rams again in the postseason. It's very difficult to beat the same team 3 times, and it would MAJORLY suck if we screwed up and lost to them.

it's just like last year we're I would of preferred to play Brady and the Bucs because I wouldn't of been as heartbroken losing to them like I was with the Rams.

Keep Seattle out of the playoffs.

I dont fear any team this year. But would love to smash the hawks again. Fingers crossed.
SeaAdderall wont be making the playoffs so I chose the Giants

Another obnoxious fanbase who were standing high and mighty at the start of the season, would love to be the ones to send them home packing. Especially when remembering 2011

There is a better chance Tampa misses the playoffs than makes the NFC title game. They are horrible. And if they weren't gifted wins against the Rams and Saints they would have 4 wins.
1. Lions
2. Giants
3. Washington ( I refuse to call them the commanders )
4. Seahawks

I'd say the Seahawks if not for the fact we've already beat them twice and they're a division rival.
I am going with the Giants. I think they are the team that would give us the least amount of trouble.
Not the lions
